Putting a red dot sight on a pistol is not a new thing but they are gaining popularity and respect fast. Larry Vickers stated at the carbine clinic in Lebanon that he is convinced they are not the next fad but rather the new paradigm.
Because of the recent upswing in utilization there are new ones coming out all the time. It feels a little like buying a computer in the 90's... When do you get what is available and when do you wait until the next evolution?
What are your thoughts on:
-Are the current offerings good enough to not result in needing to upgrade in a year or two? In other words, do the offerings currently available fulfill all the goals you would want so any new breakthroughs or design improvements will really just be icing on the cake?
-Brands to avoid considering?
The RDS LAV had was awesome but even he mentioned he would have moved the adjustment button to a different location. He has on several occasions accidentally hit the buttons when doing typical weapons manipulations. (He said verbally, live at the course but doesn't mention it online and frankly he admits it is picking at details.)
I have a (Gen1 ?) S&W M&P 9mm currently with full APEX kit. Should I get one for my pistol or get a pistol already setup for one (2.0)? What are the factors to consider in making that decision?
Who's rocking RDS's?
Your opinion on your actual model, others available, or what you would have done differently?
